Marathon GT0016A Motor

The Marathon GT0016A is a high-torque 7.5 HP general-purpose electric motor engineered for rigorous industrial duty. This NEMA 213T frame motor serves as the direct replacement for the E317M2, featuring a drip-proof (DP) enclosure optimized for clean and dry environments. Operating on a 3-phase power supply at 208-230/460V, this motor delivers a synchronous speed of 1800 RPM at 60Hz. Its rolled steel body construction ensures structural integrity in fixed-base applications, while the F1/F2 mounting capability provides flexibility for various conduit box configurations. Designed for high-duty cycles, the GT0016A meets NEMA Premium Efficiency standards with a 91.0% rating, reducing operational overhead. It is inverter ready with a 2:1 constant torque speed range, making it a reliable solution for precision-controlled pumps, blowers, and conveyors where energy savings and thermal stability are critical.

• Direct Interchange: Simplifies field replacements as the factory-authorized substitute for the E317M2 model.
• Superior Efficiency: NEMA Premium certification ensures lower heat generation and reduced electricity costs for end-users.
• Application Versatility: Dual-rated for 60Hz and 50Hz operation, providing compatibility with diverse industrial power grids.
• Rugged Construction: Durable 213T frame with a 1.15 service factor allows for reliable performance during temporary load fluctuations.
• Inverter Compatibility: Suitable for use with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) to optimize system performance and airflow control.

Is the Marathon GT0016A suitable for outdoor use?
This motor features an IP22 Drip-Proof (DP) rating, meaning it is designed for indoor use or protected environments. For outdoor applications exposed to direct rain or washdown, a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) motor is recommended.

Can this motor be mounted in any orientation?
The GT0016A features a rigid base mount and is F1/F2 capable, allowing the conduit box to be positioned on either side of the motor to fit tight mechanical clearances.

Does this motor include internal overload protection?
No, this model does not have internal thermal protection. It must be paired with a properly sized motor starter or overload relay in the control panel to ensure safe operation.
